Starbucks to erect 16-foot sign on Capitol Hill

Starbucks is carving out a name for itself on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, erecting a 16-foot sign on the roof of its newly-renovated Olive Way store.

The company will reopen the location Monday after months of construction, unveiling its latest ramped-up cafe in Seattle. The cafe will serve beer and wine, feature a U-shaped bar (to bring customers closer to the baristas) and serve enhanced food options.

The sign will be installed at 1600 E. Olive Way early Wednesday morning by crane, according to Starbucks officials.

“The sign … will pay homage to Starbucks roots in Pike Place Market, with a design reminiscent of the famous Seattle landmark,” a company statement read.
